Which was revealed in Makkah
﴿ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴾
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
﴿ الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ • إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ قُرۡءَٲنًا عَرَبِيًّ۬ا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ •
نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ
هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ وَإِن ڪُنتَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلۡغَـٰفِلِينَ ﴾
(1.
Alif-Lam-Ra. These are the verses of the Book that is clear.) (2.
Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an in order that you may
understand.) (3. We relate unto you the best of stories through Our
revelations unto you, of this Qur'an. And before this, you were among
those who knew nothing about it.)
Qualities of the Qur'an
In the beginning of Surat Al-Baqarah we talked about the separate letters, Allah said,
﴿ تِلۡكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ﴾
(These
are the verses of the Book) in reference to the Clear Qur'an that is
plain and apparent, and explains, clarifies and makes known the unclear
matters. Allah said next,
﴿ إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ قُرۡءَٲنًا عَرَبِيًّ۬ا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ﴾
(Verily,
We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an in order that you may
understand.) The Arabic language is the most eloquent, plain, deep and
expressive of the meanings that might arise in one's mind. Therefore,
the most honorable Book, was revealed in the most honorable language, to
the most honorable Prophet and Messenger, delivered by the most
honorable angel, in the most honorable land on earth, and its revelation
started during the most honorable month of the year, Ramadan.
Therefore, the Qur'an is perfect in every respect. So Allah said,
﴿ نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ ﴾
(We relate unto you the best of stories through Our revelations unto you, of this Qur'an.)
Reason behind revealing Ayah (12:3)
On
the reason behind revealing Ayah (12:3), Ibn Jarir At-Tabari recorded
that `Abdullah bin `Abbas said, "They said, `O, Allah's Messenger! Why
not narrate to us stories' Later on, this Ayah was revealed,
﴿ نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡقَصَصِ ﴾
(We
relate unto you the best of stories...)'' There is a Hadith that is
relevant upon mentioning this honorable Ayah, which praises the Qur'an
and demonstrates that it is sufficient from needing all books besides
it. Imam Ahmad recorded a narration from Jabir bin `Abdullah that `Umar
bin Al-Khattab came to the Prophet with a book that he took from some of
the People of the Book. `Umar began reading it to the Prophet who
became angry. He said,
«
أَمُتَهَوِّكُونَ فِيهَا يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ؟ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي
بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِهَا بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةً، لَا تَسْأَلُوهُمْ
عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَيُخْبِرُوكُمْ بِحَقَ فَتُكَذِّبُونَهُ، أَوْ بِبَاطِلٍ
فَتُصَدِّقُونَهُ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ
حَيًّا مَا وَسِعَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَّبِعَنِي »
(Are
you uncertain about it Ibn Al-Khattab By the One in Whose Hand is my
soul! I have come to you with it white and pure. Do not ask them about
anything, for they might tell you something true and you reject it, or
they might tell you something false and you believe it. By the One in
Whose Hand is my soul! If Musa were living, he would have no choice but
to follow me.) Imam Ahmad also recorded a narration from `Abdullah bin
Thabit who said, "`Umar came to Allah's Messenger and said; `O Messenger
of Allah! I passed by a brother of mine from ﴿the tribe of﴾
Qurayzah, so he wrote some comprehensive statements from the Tawrah for
me, should I read them to you' The face of Allah's Messenger changed
(with anger). So I said to him, `Don't you see the face of Allah's
Messenger'' `Umar said, `We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as
our religion, and Muhammad as our Messenger.' So the anger of the
Prophet subsided, and he said,
«
وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَصْبَحَ فِيكُمْ مُوسَى ثُمَّ
اتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي لَضَلَلْتُمْ، إِنَّكُمْ حَظِّي مِنَ
الْأُمَمِ، وَأَنَا حَظُّكُمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّين »
(By
the One in Whose Hand is Muhammad's soul, if Musa appeared among you
and you were to follow him, abandoning me, then you would have strayed.
Indeed you are my share of the nations, and I am your share of the
Prophets.)''
﴿
إِذۡ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيۡتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ
كَوۡكَبً۬ا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ رَأَيۡتُہُمۡ لِى سَـٰجِدِينَ ﴾
(4.
(Remember) when Yusuf said to his father: "O my father! Verily, I saw
(in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon - I saw them
prostrating themselves to me.'')
